Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding 

instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as 

to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary 

to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord 

that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-

slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the appliance. The 

marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or 

greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. 

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.  

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces 

the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the 

electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a 

grounding wire with a grounding plug.  

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly 

installed and grounded. 
•   Plug into properly installed and grounded three-prong 

•   DO NOT remove ground prong. 
•   DO NOT use an adapter.

1.   A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply 

cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming 

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 

2.   The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over 

the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by 

children or tripped over unintentionally.

3.   The use of extension cords is not recommended.

1.   The oven must be operated on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No 

other appliance should share the circuit with the oven. If it 

does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker 

may trip.

2.   The oven must be plugged into a 15 AMP or 20 AMP,  

120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard 

two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal 

responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it 

replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.

3.   The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this 

oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and 

may result in a fire or oven damage. Using a lower voltage 

will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for 

any damages resulting from the use of the oven with any 

voltage other than specified.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK: 
DO NOT remove outer panel 

from oven. DO NOT tamper 

with, or make any adjustments 

or repairs to the oven door, 

the control panel frame, safety 

interlock switches, or any other 

part of oven. Repairs must be 

done only by a qualified service person. 

TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE: 
1.  DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in 

the oven. 

2.  DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or 

other materials in the oven, or use 

newspaper or paper bags for cooking. 

3.  DO NOT hit or strike the control panel. 

Damage to controls may occur.

4.  DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper 

product is labeled as safe for oven use. Recycled paper 

products may contain impurities, which may cause fire.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
1.  OVEN GLOVES should always be used when removing items 

from the oven. See page 9 for more information. Heat is 

transferred from the Grill Pan to the cooking food and the 

Oven Cavity Floor. The Oven Cavity Floor can also be very 

HOT after removing the Grill Pan or cooking container from 

the oven.

2.  Please use caution when touching accessible parts when 

oven is operated in Bake, 

Grill, Combo, Broil or 

Auto feature, because 

the accessible parts may 

become extremely hot.
